Known as Species 4401 as this is the designated ID of the planet "Mechanical Squirrel Box" which this nut eater originally claimed home to. Located in the Delta Quadrant, this species was valued by the Borg for their maneuverability and are now used for infiltration missions.

Battle Info says that he's only an uncommon, and that might be true but don't let that deter you--This little guy has saved my battles on more than one occasion with great defense and the Repair ability. 5/5

When underwater he makes a foam behind himself as he travels caused by him beating his tail.

Base mats are:

2 Malachite

5 Copper Bar

2 Linen Cloth

Notice how you need 2 Malachite (green gems) to make this squirrel, and that the squirrel has two green eyes.

Something fun to do with this pet. Sit in a city near a squirrel that gets killed often (the floating sculpture in Dalaran, for example) and have this macro ready for the inevitable fuzzy death:

/s We can rebuild Squirrel. We have the technology. We can make him better, stronger, faster.

This is likely the first pet a novice engineer will make. The recipe is easy to find at auction, as are the parts. I always thought this little guy looked like he'd been assimilated by the Borg. "Species 4401: Resistance is futile. You will comply." Three gold stars to anyone who can figure out why this squirrel belongs to "species 4401". Any guesses?
